RIMMEL Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch Review






My favourite look for Spring/Summer is always a golden tanned sun-kissed look! We all like to look glowing & healthy right?!

To add to my collection of highlighting products I picked Rimmels new Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch RRP £4.99.

This product is available in 2 shades - Radiance Rose and Shimmering Sand. The Radiance Rose looked absolutely gorgeous but reminded me a lot of Benefits High Beam which I already have so I skipped that and picked up the more golden tone - Shimmering Sand!

The highlighter has warm hues of gold, and beige with a eye catching shimmer which looks great in the light!

To apply this I squeeze a pea size on my finger - I then dab this between 2 fingers and gently apply on my cheekbone and then any leftover on my brow bone. 




Before you apply make sure you have already powdered as this could make it loose its glisten. I like to apply mine in this order - primer, concealer, foundation, powder, highlighter, bronzer, blusher... and then you can always add some powder highlighter on top so it really stands out. Mac Soft & Gentle looks great!!!

Overall I give this product 4/5 it's very similar to Benefit Sun Beam but a quarter of the price!!!






Have you tried many highlighters? What's your favourite one?

  1. I really like using L'Oreal Lumi Magique as a highlighter! These look really nice as well, I haven't got Benefit Sun Beam, so might try the Radience Rose! :) x

  3. I try to pick shimmery blushes and that way I can skip the highlighter because I'm lazy! I really hope the wake me up line comes to the US soon because I would like to try this. Thanks for the info :) You have a really cute blog!
